Squad Leader (Avalon Hill Board Game)

[gabeeg]

Squad Leader started my love of war games (that and "Wooden Ships and Iron Men"...and my first war game "Victory in the Pacific"). I agree with HSL, Advanced Squad Leader was an expensive disappointment that made a already complex system (after adding Iron Cross and Crescendo of Doom rules additions) into unwieldy mess. Obviously not all feel that way as it seems ASL still has a large following. To me Squad Leader is what I compare all tactical war games against in some way. Sadly, I got rid of all my well worn over the board war games, except Panzer Leader...just could not let it go and it was still in decent shape.
